What a travesty....I really could smack somebody for that loss - still after 7 days.

3.) Pats
on a 4 game losing streak do I need to say more

4.) Jets
Beat the Bills and the Vikes but lost to everybody else.

This division should be a "no contest" at this point...It makes me sick to my stomach.

Don't worry FFiB, the trash will sort itself out. Buffalo can crow right now. I seem to remember Pats fans, Raider fans, and Bronco fans talking a lot of smack too. But as the season goes on and their true abilities have been exposed, they have all mysteriously "disappeared". So too will the Cow Pies as Buffalo starts sliding. Until then, they are just boring. ZZZZZzzzzzzz.

You seem to spend alot of time worrying about us for just being boring.

as far as FFib the division should be a walk for you. The Jets are done, the Pats are sliding that way and the Bills are one year removed from 3-13. The Fish should be looking at home-field and what needs to be done to get that. Of course the Fiedler injury complicates that but that should be your aiming point.

Its not a matter of Violataions, its a matter of keeping things in the forum on a fair and respectable level. You have been harrassing me for days now. Why? Beacuase I simply stand up and say "You guys are not playing that great! In the face of the Bills fans claim that they are Super Bowl bound?
What is your problem with me? Why do you feel like screwing with me so much? Here are some of your tid bits you call "real football talk"

These were in response to my posts that say you guys were given the game and still barely won.

One repsone from you:
"Is this clown for real?"

This was another (nice football talk):
"Be nice to him koz, seems his panties are bunched up this morning.

What a little girl."

That was when you went too far. You made it personal and it is clearly Troll talk.

Yes, I do notice how many posts you have. I wonder why 90% of them appear under "smack talk"?

Point is this is a Dolphin board and you should be mindful of that. When I make accurate points about your team you don't like, you should respond with mature intelligent rebuttle. Not "his panties are bunched up"

So thats my issue. You get it back on track to football and I am there with you. If not I will stay on top of you.

Agreed VA, if Lucus responds at all you should fight the Broncos, Chargers, Raiders, maybe Pittsburg if they straited out, for home field or at least a bye week.

10-28-2002, 01:32 PM

I do not foresee much luck in GB, however, Miami should win the follwing 2 games vs. NYJ and Baltimore. That would put Miami at 7-3

Bills: difficult stretch coming up and realistically, Pats game is a must win because it's a division game. Bye week, then game in KC. Can Bills win in KC? Yes, if RJ can win in KC, I'm sure Bledsoe can. Am I predicting a win....not yet, but for argument sake, Bills beat Pats at home but lose at KC. That makes Bills 6-4

Pats: Next 3 games are all on the road vs. Bills(which I have already predicted the Bills), victory at da Bears, and revenge game, in which the Raiders open an extra can of whoopa$$...Pats would be 4-6 and out of the playoff race

Jets: Lose at SD and home to Miami. Beat Lions. Makes them 3-7

The rest I'll cover later :)

I can actually agree with your predictions but never the less I believe Bills are between mediocre and good.Your Defense is horrible and sooner or later your offensive won't be able bail out your Defense..

RobertHoover

10-28-2002, 01:43 PM

That about describes the Bills minus. The beauty in the NFL is that descrides about 20 of the 32 teams. That's why everyone has a chance every week.

Baz

10-28-2002, 01:52 PM

I agree with FFiB to an extent. We should have a 2 game game lead in our division. However, after looking back at our schedule and the circumstances, the current standings don't surprise me at all. We just got out of a pretty tough 4 game stretch. The fact that we are 5-2 after this early schedule is a testament to how good our team is. The Bills just got through a rather easy schedule, beating the lesser teams and going 1-2 against teams with winning records. The one team they beat with a winning record, us, was a walking injury, so that SOMEWHAT de-emphasizes that win. I say look back in 4-5 weeks, and that will give us a better hint as to how the division is shaping up......

BuffBillsMan90

10-28-2002, 01:57 PM

Injury excuse again :rolleyes:

Bills had injuries but the key was our replacements actually played well. ROT Marcus Price stepped in and played well as did CB Chris Watson.

Bills were able to run vs. your vaunted defense and we overwhemingly won the turnover battle

all that equals: A Win

Baz

10-28-2002, 02:12 PM

I wasn't making an excuse, I'm just saying it doesn't get the same merit that a win over a healthy Miami win would get. Lastly, Henry was allowed to run by design. The defense was set up to stop the pass and allow the runner some room, pretty much protect ourselves from the big pass play. But thats over and done with. I like our chances with the rest of the schedule though......

RobertHoover

10-28-2002, 02:15 PM

Outside of GB on the road and Buffalo (if they continue to improve) and the Pats(if they get righted) you have a good run ahead of you. Even if you drop those three it's 11-5 so you should build from there.

MarinoFan

10-28-2002, 02:18 PM

Yes, you won, granted. That is great. No one is trying to take that away from Buffalo. CONGRATULATIONS. We as Dolphin fans are just putting down the facts. Had Lucas not thrown away so many turnovers, the game MIGHT have had a different outcome. So what we are saying is that you did not wipe the floor with the phins. What you did do was take advantage of a situation given to you, and prosperd with it. Basically stating, for our own good feeling. We can beat your team, you didn't spank us on a good extremely bad. . One guy played aweful, and it was a player whose mistakes are extremely significant.

So don't put any astericks next to it, you won, fair and square, but watch out, cause we'll be on your ars in December.

RobertHoover

10-28-2002, 02:45 PM

I'm trying to look beyond them. It's tough to predict an 0forDecember every year so I'm looking at each game as a stand-alone.

Baz

10-28-2002, 02:48 PM

clumped, the December collapses were due to no running game and the defense being tired, however I didn't think that was the case the last 2 seasons. Last season, half our team was injured and we couldn't run the ball. The season before that, when lamar had his career year, we lost to 3 playoff teams, not exactly a collapse. Once we get healthy, and as long as we stay healthy, I'm expecting a strong December, considering the weak teams we play......

MDFINFAN

10-28-2002, 03:05 PM

Actually,,we won the last two games of the season last year...but had the injury bug hit us as a result and it was one and out of the playoffs...This year's team is a little different...The D doesn't have to stay on the field for 40 minutes a game and that could prove big down the stretch...Hopefully the O stays productive the next 5 games and keep the D off the field..If we're successful in those games and set ourselfs up for the playoffs...then we should be pretty good going in, minus any serious injuries..

MarinoFan

10-28-2002, 04:04 PM

As for Buffalo: I would say that they have a better chance than many of us are giving them credit for.I mean, we survived many years with a great O and a not-so-great D.I believe we did rather well in that same situation a few times during the Marino days.

Actually the D bailed out the O yesterday. The D has played 2 good games in a row now. I am not ready to jump up and down about it because it was agains Lucas and the Lions but they seem to be getting better. I'll settle for average.

Houston 2-5
Detroit 2-5

And Miami's second string.

So tell me again why you think Buffalo is so great???

You sure are putting faith in not very much substance. I would think you want to hold out a little and see if you can win against a few teams with winning records, that also have their starters in.

Either way suit yourself. Its your crow to eat.

Would of, should of, could of......but didn't.

We all know it, we lost. No matter if it was our second string or not. The team we put on the field was the best we had at the time. And they lost.

The Bills won the first game. Get over it. Sheesh you children just don't know when to shut the hell up about stuff in the past that you can do absolutely nothing about.

GET OVER IT. Bills fans, we can talk about the DOLPHINS here all day. Not about the Bills. We can talk about the DOLPHINS next game against the Packers. Not the bills. Ok boys and girls? Now lets all play nice.

As for my opinion, I think GB will win. Here's why
Lucas still isn't warmed up.
Favre is almost God like in GB.
The cold weather and the Dolphins don't get along.
Home field advantage.

VanDolPhan

10-29-2002, 01:12 AM

Please the fact that the Bills could only muster 23 pts with Lucas turning over the ball 6 times should have made them extremely worried. You turn the ball over 6 times against the phins and you would be absolutely crushed.

Any Bills fan who doesn't see absolutely 100% that Lucas completely blew this game by himself isn't watching the game.

You know the Bills fans would be screaming the excuses if we played them without Bledsoe, Price, Moulds and their best OL.

The 2 teams they have faced with good defenses they didn't exactly light it up against them (Denver/Miami).

Bills fan here....

Now I am not here to talk smack but SURELY you have to be concerned about the bills overtaking you as:

- Their schedule gets much lighter after the first half of the seasonn for the bills

- You are definately weakened at QB....but I do think your backup will bounce back from last weeks game...the question is will it be enough to keep teams from keying on Williams

- We have beaten you in your house and now you have to come to Buffalo to play in the snow....we both know that the fins have historically just not faired well in cold weather stadiums....and our defense looks like it is finally starting to gel which was the ONLY reason why we are not on top of the division now......

Not smack...because I know Miami has a good team....just reality

No disappearing act, here....At 6-2 (2-0 in the division), a perfectly placed bye-week, and an easier second-half schedule, Denver is in the driver's seat in the west. Denver is also starting to play the best ball they've played all year and they're the only team in the league in the top 5 in offense and defense.

How about a rematch; this time for the AFC Championship?

How the heck does the Bills schedule get easier then a bunch of 2-5 teams? Not exactly living in reality there.

Your also living in the past as far as the snow games. Yes Miami in the Marino days use to suffer in the snow.

Since the Marino days though I can't even remember the last time we lost a cold weather game.
